  • What format should I choose?

    We provide three formats, which are divided by the type of model file provided, not divided by software.

    • FBX Format: Mainly provides FBX files, used to import to 3D software, materials and textures need to be set up manually.
    • Mesh Format: Mainly provide native formats for all the software we support, the materials and textures have been set up correctly. Mesh here means that the model has been converted to an editable polygon, not the original file when production.
    • GrowFX + Mesh Format: Providing all the files in Mesh format, and the original files are also provided, which makes it easy to re-adjust the plant model.

    When you choose the different format, you will get the following file:

    • FBX Format:
      • FBX files.
      • Texture files.
      • Preview files.
    • Mesh Format:
      • All files in FBX Format.
      • 3Ds max files.
      • Blender files.
      • Cinema 4D files.
      • Maya files.
      • Twinmotion files.
      • Unreal Engine files.
      • VRScene files.
    • GrowFX + Mesh Format:
      • All files in Mesh Format.
      • GrowFX original files.

    Note: GrowFX is a plugin for 3Ds max, GrowFX original file can only be pened in 3Ds max, if you are not a 3Ds max user, please do not choose GrowFX + Mesh format.

  • Can UnrealEngine format and Low Poly be used in TV games?

    Our current products cannot be used directly for game production, these models are not made according to the game specifications, and the texture is not optimized, so we do not recommend these models for game production.

    We’ll consider making a product line for games later.

  • Can I upgrade format after purchase?

    After purchase, you can contact us at any time to pay the difference prices to upgrade. But there are some caveats:

    • You can’t downgrade a product.
    • Upgrades can only be used in different formats for the same product. Individual product can’t upgrade to Collection product. Even though the models come from the same collection, Individual and Collection product are different products.
    • When upgrading, the original price subtracted will change depending on whether the product is on sale. For example, when you purchased, the FBX Format price was $125, and the Mesh Format price was $175. You spent $125 to purchase the FBX Format. But when you upgraded, we are launching a 40% discount promotion. At this time, the FBX Format price was $75, and the Mesh Format price was $105. We will subtract the current FBX Format price($75) for you, not the price you purchased previously.

    If you need to upgrade, please contact us through the Contact page, and provide the order number, the format you need to upgrade.
